Centers

Prof. Tomás Palacios manages two centers within Microsystems Technology Laboratories at MIT. Scroll down for more information on these. Apart from these, Prof. Palacios is also the Director and Industry Officer for the 6A Program within the EECS Alliance. 6A is an internship program for students enrolled in the MEng. (Masters in Engineering) program within the School of Engineering.  Apart from serving at MIT, Tomás is also co-founder of Finwave Semiconductor based in Cambridge, MA.

MIT-MTL Center for Graphene Devices and 2D Systems

MIT-MTL Center for Graphene Devices and 2D Systems (MIT-CG) brings together, MIT researchers and industrial partners to advance the science and engineering of graphene-based technologies. The center explores advanced technologies and strategies that enable graphene-based materials, devices and systems to provide discriminating or break-through capabilities for a variety of system applications ranging from energy generation and smart fabrics and materials, to RF communications and sensing. The MIT-CG supports the development of the science, technology, tools and analysis to create a vision for the future of graphene-enabled systems.

The Center website graphene.mit.edu is now migrated to this website. Visit the Archives link for the center from 2011-2018.

Finwave Semiconductors

The Finwave story started in 2012 at MIT when our co-founders Dr. Bin Lu and Prof. Tomas Palacios invented a novel type of GaN transistor based on a FinFET architecture.

6A EECS

The 6-A program is a partnership between MIT and some of the most innovative companies in the world. This is the 99th consecutive year the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at MIT has offered this special Program.  Prof. Palacios leads the 6A program which is part of MIT's EECS Alliance Program.
